All postings to this mailing list since Friday 20 June, 18:37 GMT are now being archived at Reference.COM, which means that you can search the mailing list archive at any time. Obviously, there's not much there at the moment, but everything we say from now on will be archived. DejaNews (http://www.dejanews.com) already does this with newsgroups (i.e. everything sent to newsgroups is archived). Reference.COM is unique in that it archives newsgroups, web forums and mailing lists. So you can search the whole lot in one go. Anyway, here's how you can search the Monkey Mailing List archives using Reference.COM: 1. Go to the Reference.COM home page - http://www.reference.com 2. Click on Advanced Search 3. In the Groups field, type: 'MONKEY@valinor.eldar.org' 4. Type your search terms into the "Search for" field, and press Search. Hopefully, in the next few days, when I've figured out how to do it, I will have a search form to do this on my Monkey! web site...

He explained that there has never been any difficulty in getting the rights to show Monkey on TV around the world, but as it stands, Monkey has NEVER been released on video anywhere in the world, and there's a lot of contractual work to be done. He said that it's been a really long process, and that the complications have been to do with: equity, actors, music rights etc. All the deals have had to go via the production company in Tokyo. They will only have the rights to distribute the video in the UK. However, he said that fans in Australia will be able to purchase the video direct from them by mail order. Doing this will not in any way breach their licencing of the product. There is no plan to produce extensive merchandise for Monkey, but there will *probably* be a promotional T-shirt to accompany the video release, as an incentive for people to buy the videos. He also explained that when it is successfully distributed in the UK, the complex deals and complications that will have taken place will not in any way aid other countries to negotiate a video release deal; it will be yet another laborious process for them. But, one very encouraging thing he said was that he hopes to have some definite news before the end of this month - i.e. in the next week. I'll keep you posted...

Hmmm... but you can be mentally ill and be very destructive without actually being evil. To use a clichee, you can be destructive as a "cry for help" (which is a crap thing to say, but it can be true.) I think it's got to be your intentions that define whether you are evil. > It is the > ultimate and illusory assertion of one's own difference and self > sufficiency from the rest of the universe. Right. Who said that you could use long and complicated words? Eh? Have you got a licence for this sort of thing..!? OK... erm... (taking it slowly)... funnily enough the main bit I'm not sure about is your use of "difference". What do you mean by that? I'm going for a lie down.. John .oOo.

For the moment, I've said that it's Season 3, Episode 12. According to both episode lists I have seen, the last two episodes of season 3 are: 12. Mothers 13. At The Top Of The Mountain Is this the order Foxtel (Australia) played them in last time? It will be 12 more weeks before they show the last episodes of season 3 again. BTW, great review, Nick. Thanks Chris. In regard to the episode order, "At The Top of The Mountain" was the final episode shown on Foxtel's last screening because I clearly remember getting a friend to tape it for me and I was pissed off because it was the last one :( It was also last on the ABC screening in 1992. It does seem a bit of an inconclusive episode but as I remember, "Mothers" didn't have a great deal of finality to it either, Nick. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jun 1997 09:18:42 +1000 (EST) From: Chris Hadgis Subject: Re: [monkey] videos According to Clare O'Farrell: > I'm pretty sure that the mere fact of copying television programs as > well as movies is a problem in Australia. This debate comes up from time to time in aus.tv, and the last thing I remember seeing was that it is okay to videotape things for private home viewing.

This pisses off the advertisers no end, which in turn pisses off the TV stations. PS Is it ok to swear on this list? "Nothing worth saying was ever said in a signature."
